XHTML compatibility

Hi Petr,

I'm trying to maintain XHTML conformance with my website, however the CMSViewer
(and probably other components) alway output a <span> tag. In XHTML, <span> tags are not allowed to contain block level elements (such as div's or tables). I don't know if this inherent to using the System.Web.Ui.WebControl, but would it be possible to disable the rendering of this <span> tag for the controls in a future release, or use a <div> tag instead?

Thanks,

Wiebe Tijsma

We will try to find a way how to avoid the extra <span> tag. In the meantime, you could use the solution with extended XHTML DTD described at: http://aspnetresources.com/blog/xhtml_custom_dtd.aspx Thank you.
